• Embed DevSecOps controls into development and delivery pipelines, including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, container scanning, infrastructure-as-code review, security gates, and remediation workflows.
• Partner with software, DevOps, product, and QA teams to identify application risks early, validate security requirements, prioritize vulnerabilities, and ensure secure-by-design outcomes for web, mobile, API, cloud, SaaS, and integration platforms.
• Protect infrastructure, cloud services, networks, endpoints, servers, databases, identities, privileged access, and business-critical systems through secure configuration baselines, hardening standards, monitoring, patching, and control validation.
• Manage vulnerability, patch, and remediation programs across applications and infrastructure, including risk ranking, ownership assignment, exception handling, reporting, verification, and executive escalation where required.
• Lead security operations activities, including alert triage, incident response coordination, investigation support, root cause analysis, containment, recovery, post-incident reviews, and improvement actions.
• Maintain and improve security monitoring, logging, endpoint protection, identity protection, email security, backup resilience, disaster recovery readiness, and business continuity controls.
• Develop, maintain, and enforce cybersecurity policies, secure software development standards, infrastructure protection procedures, risk registers, control evidence, security documentation, and operational runbooks.
• Support compliance, audit readiness, and governance activities aligned with applicable internal policies, customer requirements, contractual obligations, privacy requirements, and recognized security frameworks.
• Assess and manage technology, application, infrastructure, cloud, vendor, and third-party security risks, including due diligence, control reviews, risk acceptance, remediation tracking, and security recommendations.
• Provide security guidance to leadership and stakeholders through clear reporting on security posture, vulnerabilities, incidents, compliance status, control gaps, residual risks, and improvement priorities.
• Promote a security-first culture by coaching developers, IT teams, business users, and vendors on secure practices, risk awareness, incident prevention, and practical control adoption.
